Execution Clinical Timetable
A multi-page printed briefing labeled as the clinical timetable for an execution: plain white pages of tightly typed, procedural language listing minute-by-minute observations (injection times, muscular twitching, convulsions, time of death). C.J. holds and reads the packet mechanically while Mandy verifies its presence; the sterile phrasing collides with private feeling when a personal name appears.

Purpose
To record and communicate the procedural, minute-by-minute clinical sequence and timing of a scheduled execution for briefing officials and monitoring the process.
Significance
Serves as the emotional trigger that cracks C.J.'s professional detachment — the clinical specificity of state violence becomes intimate when the condemned's mother is named Sophia. The document foreshadows C.J.'s later moral confession and raises stakes for the President by converting abstract policy into a human cost.
